Too late to "make it" via SV/tech world.. I definitely am incredibly fortunate and much more grateful about what I do have as I have gotten older. It's one of the reasons that I don't give so much to my job anymore.
'Make it' is subjective though. I work in IT, own a modest home and I would say I've made it although many commenters on this forum would say I am broke by their standards. Everything is relative - I hope you are able to find joy, peace and rest in your well-deserved accomplishments
